Nestlé sells US ice cream business to joint venture in $4B deal


For much of the last two years, Nestlé ​has been overhauling its portfolio to capture growth in the food space and shed underperforming or slow-growing businesses. Last year, Nestlé ​​sold its U.S. chocolate business, a deal that included more than 20 American candy brands like Butterfinger and Baby Ruth, to Ferrero for $2.8 billion.

Similar to its exit from candy where it competed with sweet giants Hershey and Mars Wrigley in the U.S., Nestlé’s biggest competitor in the ice cream space domestically is Unilever.
